I'm quite sure I (mis)typed "linux boot=mount,dall rw", so maybe it's the "rw" option that made it work? When looking at svn:debian-installer/installer/build/boot/sparc/silo.conf (this is the one used when booting netinst?) there is a "read-only" option present and the append-lines includes "rw", but I'm no silo expert. > > - when "Installing the base system" it fails when unable to find the > > initrd-tools package (vc 3 says "E: couldn't find package > > initrd-tools". > > rootskel has an incorrect setting for sparc and so it wants to install > this package that seems unneeded with the sparc kernels.
